I have been trying to get my daughter, who just turned 8 weeks to sleep more through the night. At first she seems to wake up as soon as her music turns off, but after about midnight she sleeps better. I have just started last week and I have been trying three hour feeding cycles. I'm just not sure if during the night I should be letting her sleep until she wakes naturally to eat, or if I should be sticking to the three hours then as well. I read that I could also try a four hour feeding cycle, but have heard that weight depends on that as well. Does anybody have any idea on how I can improve my method?
Talk to your doctor before you change her schedule, but if you are not concerned with her weight...you could begin to let her sleep at night until she wakes up. Then be sure to feed her at 3-4 hour intervals throughout the day. She may surprise you and sleep for 5-6 hours in a row!
My 10 week old is also on a 3 hour feeding schedule - definitely let them awake naturally - they know when they're hungry. She sleeps anywhere between 6 & 8 hours per night and is just fine without eating until she is awake.
I have been reading On becoming BabyWise and I they definitely reccomend every 3 hour feeding cycles during the day and wake up naturally after last feeding of evening. This helps them organized day and night. I highly recc this book, it has already helped me a lot with my second son who is now almost 8 weeks old and starting to sleep for 5-6 hr stretches at night.
I have been having the same issues!! I need help!!! First time mom....my son is 3 weeks old. He is sleeping more throughout the days and nights. Im told not to wake him to feed. To let him wake up on his own. Problem is that my breast get huge and painful!! I do pump a bit (1oz) everytime before I feed him because my let down is very strong and it tends to choke him. I dont know how to fix the supply and demand issue! What do i do? Please HELP? He is peeing and pooping normal. He does get some gas...dont know if its cause he fights me so much when we initial start the feeding process or what. Any help or advice would be great!!
Breastfeeding works on supply and demand. The more your baby eats and the longer your baby eats, the more your body makes. As your baby grows, he will begin to sleep longer throughout the night, but he will want to eat more. The way he regulates this is by sleeping longer at night and then eating for a longer time or completely "draining" your breasts when he does wake up. At first your breasts will full very full and you may need to pump a little off to ease the discomfort, but don't get into the habit of pumping before every feeding...otherwise you are telling your body to keep making more food. If you are still uncertain about how the supply and demand works, talk to your doctor. As your baby gets older, he should be able to nurse by himself and you should not need to pump. Also, you may feel full for the first day or two while your milk is adjusting to his new schedule, but after that your body will adjust. Hope this helps a bit
I let my son sleep longer between feedings. Sometimes he sleeps 5 hours during the day then he started sleepin longer at night between feedings.
My 4 week old has had a couple of nights where she slept 7 hours! I don't wake her if she will do that, let's let her know when it is night time! If she needs to have a couple of 2 oz. snack in the morning time to make up for a missed feeding, I'm okay with that! She typically eats every 4 hours, but the last couple of days has been wanting to eat every 3 to 4 hours, it seems like every 3 hours during the day and every 4 hours at night. I remember the doc saying to wake her up to eat every 3 to 4 hours, but I disagree with that from the hours of 11pm - 6am...if she will sleep I let her! Though, she doesn't usually. There is usually a 2am feeding in there. But, I let her decide. We recently went up from 4 oz to 5 oz too.
I personally would suggest waking your baby during the day. My baby is waking up on her own just to eat and then she usually goes back to sleep. The only time I wouldn't wake my baby if she wasn't waking on her own to eat every 3-4 hours, is during the night so she can establish the difference between night and day early on. Last night I was so lucky that she slept for 8 hours! YAY! I hope she will do that more often!
She usually wakes up between 3-4 hrs during the day on her own. Last night she slept 6 hrs!! Couldn't believe it!! It was the first time she slept longer then 3 hrs at night.
I think I hear two questions.
To encourage sleeping more at night, try to have more stimulation during the day. Open the blinds, go out for a walk, make normal noises around your home. In the evening, close the blinds, make it darker at home and be quieter. Your baby will eventually get in sync. Also, having a baby who sleeps through the night definitely makes life easier for the parents, but it's not necessarily a reasonable expectation we have of babies. I'm an adult and I wake up at night for a drink of water or to used the bathroom.
Also, what MommyRN4 said about the supply/demand of breastfeeding is right. I'll add that you shouldn't try to schedule breastfed babies. The AAP recommends feeding them whenever they show signs of hunger. That may happen before your next "scheduled" feeding or later. Trying to schedule a breastfed baby often leads to a decrease in your milk supply.
My daughter is 4 and a half months old and doesnt sleep thru the night. She wakes up more now then she did when she was 2 months. What should I do? I know that most babys sleep thru the night by now.
Is she getting enough to eat?

There is governance, and there is politicking. One is grounded in practicality; the other floats — and sinks — on ideology. Commendably, Gov. Rick Scott has learned the difference after two years in office.
The governor's decision to back the expansion of Medicaid by 1 million Floridians who would qualify (after having been elected to office on an anti-Obamacare platform) is a practical call that protects the state's taxpayers.
By putting a limit of three years to Florida's expansion effort, the governor also seeks some wiggle room to see if the expansion delivers the cost savings the feds have promised. Mr. Scott's decision comes after the federal government approved Florida's move to privatize the Medicaid program by having the poor who qualify select coverage from among state-approved HMOs.
Mr. Scott could not in good conscience pass up the federal government covering the entire costs of the Medicaid expansion the next three years now that the Supreme Court has ruled that the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) is constitutional.
"There are no perfect options," Mr. Scott said last week when he made his about-face. "Our options are either having Floridians pay to fund this program in other states while denying healthcare to our citizens or using federal funding to help some of the poorest in our state with the Medicaid program as we explore other healthcare reforms."
Indeed, as it is, Floridians send more tax dollars to the federal government than they get back in various key areas, like the gas tax used to fund transportation projects. In a state where the Great Recession hit particularly hard and the number of unemployed (and uninsured) remains stubbornly high, the Medicaid expansion could deliver long-term healthcare cost savings and better health to the newly insured. The only way to find out is to test it — and that goes for the controversial privatization element of the expansion.
Gov. Scott's decision has attracted some strange political bedfellows into his detractors' camp. Predictably, the Democratic Party pooh-poohs the governor's decision as a purely political one meant only to help his poor polling numbers as he heads into a re-election campaign in 2015. The GOP's tea party groups, meanwhile, are calling the governor a disparaging RINO — Republican In Name Only — because he is now ready to participate in Obamacare and has given up their hard-right fight.
Mr. Scott, a former healthcare executive, has moved to the center recently on various issues. This year, for instance, he's proposing a $2,500 pay raise for teachers after having cut education funding his first year in office. No doubt there are solid political reasons to back more education funding now, a popular issue with voters. But there also are practical economic reasons to invest in education, and the business community has made that clear to the governor, too.
The Republican-led Legislature will have to make the final call on Medicaid expansion and teachers' salaries and all things budget-related. Expect some members to let ideology trump practicality. That would be irresponsible.
Now that Florida's economy is slowly turning around and is poised to generate thousands of new jobs in trade, medicine, bio-tech, tourism and the like, the state needs sensible leaders who can do the math, add up the numbers, subtract the liabilities and reach the answer regardless of party ideology.
The governor deserves credit for making the responsible call.

text: I received my Tsunami 145 in May and enjoy it a lot. I've had it on inland lakes and took it on overnight excursions on the Muskegon River and the White River. I also purchased the optional rudder kit which I recommend for anyone who plans on using it on big water or in tight areas. The most fun I've had with it though was fishing on Lake Michigan for salmon. These monsters of the deep will take you for quite a ride, but if you're going to try this make sure you have the rudder kit and the paddle kick stand with a paddle float. These power houses can turn on a dime, and keeping them between the bow and the kickstand can be a real exciting workout. The stability of this kayak is phenomenal and takes on the big lake rollers without dipping the bow. I can easily pack a tent and light bag a change of clothes in the front hatch leaving the whole rear hatch for provisions. I'm 6' 2" and go 225 and have ample room without getting too sloppy in the pit. The easily adjusted seat makes for continued comfort on that all day paddle. My only complaint is that Wilderness didn't put screws of sufficient length with the rudder kit to penetrate the hull, hold the washer and meet the nylon lock in the nut. But I overcame this by purchasing 4 stainless steel screws from the local hardware for a mere $.77 (including tax). The package deal saved me $130.00 that my local dealer could not match, so I'm now only $129.23 ahead of the game. I can live with that. Good craft, great deal, thanks!

Greater Oklahoma City is in the geographic center of North America equidistant from the east and west coasts and major trade partners of Canada and Mexico. The ten county region is at the crossroads of the U.S., sitting at the heart of three major national highways on the NAFTA corridor.
There's a reason Greater Oklahoma City is such a great place for business: Location. The ten county region is positioned within a day's drive of the rapidly-growing south-central region (OK, TX, AR, LA) projected to grow more than 44% during the next 25 years.
Explore the counties and cities of Greater Oklahoma City including major employers and higher education. The ten county region boasts an average commute time of 20 minutes and a skilled workforce over half a million strong.
The National Association of Realtors recently named Oklahoma City one of the "8 Healthiest Housing Markets" in the United States. Expected income increases and low unemployment continue to attract new businesses and households to the metro area according to the publication.
(November 7, 2011)
MIDWEST CITY -- Midwest City-based aerospace investment company Acorn Growth Cos. has purchased a West Coast company that makes composite aircraft components and structures.
Acorn Growth acquired Marina, Calif.-based Integrated Composites Inc., which designs, develops and manufactures components for several industries, including parts for helicopters and windshield edge frames for more than 40 different fixed and rotary-winged aircraft. It is the fourth acquisition for Acorn in the past 15 months, Acorn Growth partner Jeff Davis said.
Integrated was founded in 1992 and operates out of a 40,000-square-foot facility in the Monterrey Bay area of California. The company provides products and services to customers including the U.S. Navy, Army and Air Force, Lockheed Martin, Boeing and C and D Aerospace.
"Integrated Composites is an industry leader in its niche and has developed an outstanding reputation for engineering excellence, quality and on-time delivery," said Rick Nagel, another Acorn partner. "We're excited about Integrated Composite's future and look forward to strengthening its position as a value-added aerospace engineering, design and component manufacturer."
No changes seen Joe Johnson, an Integrated founder, will remain as president, and the company's 20 employees will remain in Marina, Davis said.
When companies are acquired, "it's important not to be disruptive," he said. "For the most part, they are strong, stand-alone companies."
However, "when it makes good sense we'll establish an Oklahoma presence," he said.
Integrated will become an operating company of AGC Aerospace & Defense, an operating group of Acorn Growth.
AGC Aerospace & Defense is organized into four operating groups of AGC Composites, AGC Integrated Defense, AGC Services and AGC Finance, which includes companies that engage in manufacturing, aircraft modification and upgrades, engineering services, logistics, procurement and maintenance, repair and overhaul.
Michigan-based Peninsula Capital Partners provided financing for the acquisition.

Hello new members! I'm excited about this new group and I hope we can all have a great time talking about what we enjoy about life without television and help each other when needed.
I don't have an image for the group yet. Do you have an image, such as children playing, a family hiking, or a mother reading to her child, that we could ask Cynthia to make into the group's image here on Mothering?
Thanks! :)

Tomorrow the Meertens Institute will unveil a new database, the Nederlandse Voornamen Bank (NVB), literally the Dutch Given Names Database. The database is already live, but still password protected. It will be freely accessible starting tomorrow, but I am pleased to present my readers with another scoop.
I've mentioned the Meertens Institute before. I've written about their Dutch Family Names Bank, and the article Minister of Justice an Illegal Alien? started examining that question with a look in that database.
The new database is the complement of the Dutch Family Name Bank. That database has information on family names, the new database has information on given names.
The database sports both a Dutch and an English home page. The Dutch or British flag in the upper left corner lets you switch between the two. However, apart from the home page, most of the site is in Dutch only. There isn't much on the home page. Just a brief description of the database, the names of the project members and a edit box in which to type a name.
On the
English page, the drop down box in front of that search is still in Dutch. The
phrase shown in the screen shot,
is gelijk aan, means
is equal to.
Once this translation oversight has been fixed, you should be able to pick
starts with,
ends with,
contains and
The database is described as follows
The Corpus of First Names in The Netherlands presents 500.000 names. The names originate from the Civil Registration (2006) enhanced with recent names that were made available by the Social Security Bank. Also included are first names from the latest edition of Prisma Voornamen (edited by J. van de Schaar, revised by Doreen Gerritzen) which are not used anymore in The Netherlands. For many names the annual popularity distribution since 1880, and a geographic distribution is presented. For about 20.000 names an explanation can be found. The information is available in Dutch only.
The page is rather high. In the screenshot, your barely notice the graphic footer, but if you scroll, it turns out to be a row of books all showing a Dutch given name on their spine.
I entered the popular Dutch name
Jan and got these screen with statistics and
a diagram. There is a small peak after the First World War and a more noticeable
one after the Second World War. Usage was fairly stable until that Second World
World, but started to decline rather sharply afterwards, as people opted for
more modern and foreign names than before.
There is a row of three buttons on the page. The left one,
(popularity) corresponds the current page. The second one,
(distribution leads to a page that show the distribution of the name.
This page is long. I had to combine two screenshots to make the image you see above. The eight links near the upper right in arranged in two rows. The left row leads to maps using absolute numbers, the right row leads to maps using percentages.
The name Jan is often used in combinations such as Hendrik Jan. Such usage is known as a volgnaam (follow name). The four pair of links each have a distribution for usage of Jan as the very first name on top and for usage as follow name on the bottom.
The name Jan is most commonly used as a male name, but is alsoe used as a female name. The default image shows Jan used a the first name in a male given name. The top four links, under the m for man (man), are for usage as a male name. The four links below that, under the v for vrouw (woman), are for usage as a female name.
The third and last button leads to a
verklaring (explanation) of the name.
These explanations are in Dutch only.

Once not allowed to play with his own classmates in youth football because he was too big, the 6-foot-5, 250-pound defensive end has been selected for the state's biggest all-star game, the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Classic on Dec. 15.
"I was going to have to play with kids like three and four years older than me," Simpson said. "My dad thought it just wasn't worth doing it and running the risk of getting hurt."
Simpson is among the players on the 40-man roster, which is made up of current high school seniors and loaded with top-level recruits. Half have already announced their college intentions, including six heading to Auburn and three to Alabama. Simpson has committed to Mississippi State.
So far this season, Simpson has 23.5 tackles with nine for loss. He's also recorded eight quarterback pressures with 4.5 sacks, a forced fumble and a recovery.
After only picking up the sport once he got into the Oxford program, Simpson looks to have made the right choice. He dropped basketball sometime back, and now his only other pastime is baseball, his refuge from his early days and his longest continuous sport. He expects to be a big part of the Yellow Jackets defense of their state title this spring.
But for right now, it's just football, a place he said he feels comfortable. And he feels comfortable in Starkville, Miss., where he'll travel this weekend to see the Bulldogs take on Tennessee.
He may not need to get comfortable playing just on the defensive end, though. Talking with the coaches at State, depending on his progression, Simpson could end up anywhere from tight end to closer to the center of the defense line should he put on even more size.
"It's kind of ironic, I guess," Simpson said. "What kept me from playing then is part of the reason I'm going on to the next level now."

After some false starts it became obvious that we should include my wife in the process.
We had no idea what a fruitful and enjoyable process that would be.
We started with the idea of a simple traditional diamond ring. That evolved into integrating her previous ring into a composite design. The final ring includes 8 marquise-cut diamonds creatively tucked around a beautiful new oval-cut center diamond. The marquise diamonds are meaningful relative to the age and birth order of our two granddaughters.
Thus the final product is far from being "just a ring" but rather a significant and meaningful heirloom that will be greatly treasured and passed down through generations.
All of this was possible due to Malcolm's vast experience, creativity and artistic talents.
Everyone, from the design team, family and friends, including our insurance agent declared it the most the beautiful and unique ring they had seen.
We couldn't be more pleased with our choice of Villarreal, the design process or the final result.
I am a pretty meticulous individual who likes to be prepared ahead of time, whenever possible. Given the importance of finding an engagement ring, I started early compiling advice from trusted sources and reading up on the "c"s and so forth. Before I set out to shop around, I happened upon Joseph at a mixer. I mentioned that I was on a mission and, given his background, I expected a sales pitch. Rather, Joseph said I should do my due diligence to my satisfaction and then come and see him. I thought it strange because I figured I might end up finding a good deal somewhere else, and he would never see me again. Well, that was all he said. The next time I communicated with Joseph was when I called him to set up an appointment after I had shopped around (and I avoided the retail stores because, as I mentioned earlier, I was prepared).
The value for me in working with Joseph and Malcolm was (1) the best prices I could find despite thorough research and having an international contact; (2) two well-versed professionals in their area that didn't have any limits to ensuring that my experience was pleasant and that they delivered top-notch customer service; and (3) the knowledge they shared which made me a very smart shopper and avoid the pit-falls inherent in shopping for a diamond.
I am confident that I will stay in touch with the professionals at Villarreal Fine Jewelers. I have since raved about VFJ to my closest friends and family because I do not want them to have anything less than the best out there when their time comes. I never, in my wildest imagination, expected to enjoy the process of shopping for an engagement ring as much as I did.
El trato y el servicio de la joyeria Villareal es excelente! Necesitaba un anillo para mi prometida y ya teniendo un diseño en mente ellos puediron facilitar el anillo perfecto en muy poco tiempo. Si estan buscando anillos y diamantes de alta calida la joyeria Villareal es el lugar perfecto.
GREAT Quality, Value and Attention to Detail – Repeat Customer
They did it again! I was looking for a diamond pendant for my wife for our anniversary and returned to Villarreal Fine Jewelers. I had looked for a particular diamond pendant at other jewelry stores and could not find exactly what I wanted. I sat down with Joseph and we crafted the perfect pendant. My wife was thrilled with the results. Attention to detail, catering to the customer's needs and reasonable pricing is what you want and what you get at Villarreal Fine Jewelers. I will continue to shop at Villarreal's for my future jewelry needs.

Joseph Villarreal is a consummate professional. He takes his time to understand just what you need and what your are looking for in jewelry. Margaret and i selected her engagement diamond and Joe designed a outstanding setting for her. Later we selected wedding bands and were not disappointed by the exceptional value he provided. A few years past and we needed to have her pearls restrung . He designed her new necklace and some bracelets that were just perfect. If you want the finest in jewelery and personal service at a price that cannot be matched go to Villarreal jewelers.
Villarreal Jewelers ROCKS!!! – My fiance surprised me with the engagement ring he'd been working on with you and I can't begin to tell you how beautiful it is or how blown away I am. You and your team did a STELLAR job!! It's absolutely stunning and of course, given the man who gave it to me, I am incredibly honored and proud to wear it. And I have literally had people stop me on the street to gawk at it!
I'm sure you deal with couples all the time who are on their second go-round (and maybe more!), but it's a "first", so to speak, for us, so thank you so much for making the start of it so special.
My fiance surprised me with a beautiful custom made engagement ring from Villarreal Fine Jewelers - it couldn't be more perfect! The ring even came with a book showing the different steps involved in making it. We recently went in to choose our wedding bands and Joseph makes it such an easy process. We will never go back to a jewelry store after having the experience of a custom jeweler.
After searching for months and months for the perfect place to have my future fiance's engagement ring made, I finally came across a long list of positive reviews for VFJ and decided it was worth a shot!
I had a long list of needs and extremely high expectations and to say that Joseph and Malcolm met and exceeded them all is an understatement. As soon as I met them I knew that this jeweler was "the one," and thats a great feeling to get when you're making such a big purchase!
Malcolm is so incredibly kind and a very talented artist, I knew my ring concept was in great hands. I was able to provide pictures of ideas I liked, meet with him about diamond choices and he always had my hopes AND budget in mind. Never once did I feel compelled to spend more than I had originally planned, and they really went to bat for me to negotiate a great price on the perfect diamond.
After two rounds of Computer-Assisted-Design (CAD) reviews (where I was allowed to make a few slight changes- love that feeling of control!) we felt the ring was ready to be made. 3 weeks later it was in my hand and I am not joking, I almost cried it was so beautiful. I wanted to run home and pop the question right then.
I cannot believe how fun the process of buying an engagement ring was at Villarreal, and working with Malcolm to have this one of a kind ring made for my girlfriend was truly an unimaginable experience. I will be proposing in January and cannot wait to give her this amazing ring.
This is THE place for jewelry in Austin.
If you are having any doubts about visiting VJF, don't. It will be the best decision you ever make, and your GF, wife, mom, whoever! Will love you for it.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, Malcolm and Joseph!
Joseph is a great help when it comes to designing an engagement ring.
I went to see Joseph on a recommendation from my friend. I had had no prior knowledge whatsoever about rings so I was a little nervous. As I told him that, Joseph took me through all the basics about diamond step by step. As my confident built up, we walked over to his computer and started designing an engagement ring using 3D CAD.
3 weeks later, the ring arrived on time and it looked just fantastic. My fiancee loved it too!
Not only does Joseph understand diamond and ring, his superb service was something that I enjoyed most.
I had a diamond come loose in my engagement ring, but the store my fiance bought it from was a local place in Houston. Living in Austin, we had a hard time getting it there to get it fixed. Most places I checked with in Austin were wanting $50-$80 just to tighten it! Villarreal tightened it for free and even gave it a nice polish, and got it back in 24 hrs. They were personal and friendly too. Thanks for the help-- I really appreciate it!

Bachelor of Arts in Sociology
Program Areas and Career Opportunities
Sociology is the study of human society and social behavior. A Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology will lead to career opportunities in the criminal justice system, social services, government, or business. It will also serve as preparation for graduate study in sociology, other social sciences or professions, such as social work, counseling, education, or law.
What does it mean to say that sociology is the study of human society and social behavior?
- It means we're interested in looking at how people treat other people in their day-to-day relationships and understanding why people live the way they do.
- We want to know about the lyrics in the latest popular music and the influence of religion on people's lives;
- How couples develop relationships and move toward a permanent commitment to one another (or why they don't);
- How sports in high school and college have become training grounds for a major industry;
- How crime and other social problems emerge and the effects they have on all of us;
- How the things that happen in our daily lives are affected by social forces that seem beyond our control;
- How, in fact, we can have an impact on the direction society takes.
Sociology majors are people who like to learn, to think, and to talk about the world we all live in - how things work, why they work the way they do, and how they might be changed for the better. They're curious about different people's perceptions, different cultures, and different ideas about why people do the things they do.
Being a sociology major at Winston-Salem State means reading, writing, working with others in a supportive academic environment, both inside and outside the classroom. It means doing research, developing communication skills, and thinking critically about issues that affect us all. Involvement in research projects with faculty, in service-learning activities, and in the Sociology Club and Alpha Kappa Delta, the international sociology honor society, enhance opportunities for learning beyond the classroom. All of these skills and experiences will serve a graduate well in all types of work, including graduate school.
Major Program in Sociology
To complete a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology, students are required to complete a total of 120 semester hours. Forty-six of those hours must consist of sociology courses, with a grade of C or higher in each course.
Required Sociology courses include the following:
- SOC 2301 General Sociology
- SOC 2326 Elementary Statistics
- SOC 3342 Sociological Theory
- SOC 3352 Methods of Social Research
- SOC 4339 Senior Seminar.
Sociology majors must also complete 24 semester hours of courses within one of these tracks of study: Health and Wellness or Social Inequality. Six other semester hours of sociology electives complete the 46-hour requirement.
The remaining hours in the program include "core curriculum" classes, required of all students at the university, and other elective or support courses. Included in those courses are six semester hours of one foreign language or of American Sign Language, and three semester hours each in economics, geography, and philosophy.
Minor Program in Sociology
A minimum of 18 semester hours in Sociology with a grade of C or better in each course is required for a minor in this field. The following courses are required:
- General Sociology
- Elementary Statistics (*waived for students whose major requires a statistics course)
- Social Theory
- Methods of Social Research (**waived for students whose major requires a social/behavioral science research methods course)
Sociology electives must be completed to bring the total semester hours in Sociology to 18.
Students for whom one or two required courses are waived must complete three hours of Sociology for each course that is waived.
Professional Associations

Chicago Bears: Arthur Brown, LB, Kansas State
The Bears once had a strong group of linebackers, but Nick Roach just signed with the Raiders, while Brian Urlacher's 2013 status is unknown. As it stands now, Chicago is set to start J.T. Thomas and Blake Costanzo along with Lance Briggs at linebacker. That's not very promising.
Arthur Brown is getting a ton of buzz lately. There have even been some Ray Lewis comparisons. He's a stud, so he could easily carry on the Bears' linebacker tradition.
Of course, there is the point that this is the D's year to get the first round guy but you have to change some time, right?
Hey guys, this would be a nice sight to see in our red zone....http://beyondthecombine.com/wp-conte...-Dame-Pic1.jpg
TE would be surprising yet welcome.
Personally, I would like the TE Eifert as well. But I have CB Desmond Trufant in my mock so I'll have to go with the corner from Washington.

Who is Eurasia? The Advent of Politics into Geography
Assoc. Prof. Murat ÇEMREK
One of the very first things I have learned after starting the school was "Turkey is a bridge between Europe and Asia." This metaphor of "bridge" has been one of the basic official mottos of the Turkish Republic to help its citizens feel closer or even part Europe -so the Western world. This motto did not also led them sacrifice their Asiatic roots in tandem with the official history of designating their ancestors to have left the Central Asian steppes due to drought but transferring civilization to the frontiers of Asia called Anatolia. Of course, I had also learnt that Turkey, even before the establishment of the Republic, was trying to be a part of Europe and the West much or less in its path toward modernization, or read it as Europeanization/Westernization. However following the Republic, Turkey has tried its best to alienate itself from the East, so the Iron Curtain after the World War II that meant the Soviet Union or the Communist Russia in popular saying. As a child what I understood from the Iron Curtain was that it was not easy to go to the Soviets, including the lands of the ancestors and the Turkic brethren, or any other socialist country of the era.

Does anybody know of or have an application that will allow you to print checks? Thanks
Does anybody know of or have an application that will allow you to print checks? Thanks
This will depend on whether these are preprinted - ie computer based checks or just checks from your checkbook.
I found with a little trial and error these could be easily done using filemaker and setting up fields that match the check on printing. The nice thing is that it also creates a record of all checks printed and you can put more details into the database relating to the check.
It really is rather simple as long as you have a rudementary knowledge of filemaker. Also that way you can source check styles from anywhere rather than ones specific to a type of software.
On my printer it could handle small sheets of paper. I even used this technique to print credit card slips. (a little obsolete now).
So in absence of other posts ideas this may help

SAN ANTONIO -- WOAI news in San Antonio was booted off the air on Tuesday morning as a two-alarm fire ripped through the downtown station during the morning newscast.
San Antonio firefighters first responded to 1031 Navarro Street after flames were seen leaping from a second story window around 4:57 a.m.
News 4 General Manager John Seabers said in a statement that the the building was quickly evacuated and the fire was contained to the second floor.
"We expect to have electricity restored to the building by noon, and we anticipate having WOAI-TV on the air later this afternoon. We are grateful no one was injured," according to the statement.
WOAI begins its morning newscast at 4:30 a.m. and posted an update to its website around 6 a.m.
"We are off the air due to a fire at the News 4 San Antonio building. The fire is under control and everyone is okay. ... We are doing live reports with our sister station KABB (Fox 29)."
Firefighters could be seen atop the building around 5:45 a.m. as smoke continued to pour from the windows. They spent several more hours putting out hot spots as onlookers gathered outside.

By Warren Silberman

In this article I shall discuss changes with heart valve replacement and pacemakers. Members can refer to the medical certification protocols on AOPA's online medical section.
Warren Silberman
In a prior article I discussed some of the recent FAA protocol changes for heart attacks (myocardial infarction) and coronary artery disease. In this article I shall discuss changes with heart valve replacement and pacemakers. Members can refer to the medical certification protocols on AOPA's online medical section.
Both heart valve replacement and permanent heart pacemaker insertion are "specifically disqualifying medical conditions." This means that if you hold any class of medical certificate you should self-ground (FAR 61.53) until you obtain a special issuance (waiver); if you see your aviation medical examiner (AME), he or she cannot issue you a medical until you are "cleared" by the FAA's medical certification people.
Under the previous policy, the FAA would only consider airmen for a waiver if they had a single valve replacement. The cardiologists who assist the FAA with medical policy guidelines felt that if you had two valves replaced it would be "double the trouble," and that there was a greater aeromedical risk for significant complications with two valves. They have been granting and will continue to grant special issuance for airmen who had one valve replaced and the other heart valve repaired. Over recent years, the general rule was that an airmen with two valves replaced was denied. The FAA is now going to consider all airmen of all classes with two valve replacements. The airman must undergo the same initial evaluations as a single valve and all cases will be evaluated by the federal air surgeon's cardiology consultant panel.
The period of "observation" of "grounding" after the surgical procedure for valve replacement has not changed. It is still six months for both single and double valve replacements. All double valve replacement cases will be sent for review at the federal air surgeon level, even after the panel makes a favorable recommendation.
As far as insertion of a permanent heart pacemaker, airmen of all classes of medical certificate can obtain a special issuance. Airmen must still wait two months after the initial insertion of the pacemaker. The change is that there is no longer a two-month wait for someone who just had the battery generator replaced. These airmen can now be considered after they have surgically healed and this could be as soon as 10 days after the procedure. If the lead(s) are replaced, it will still be a two-month recovery period.
Pacemaker dependency is defined by the FAA as a heart rate of 40 beats or less when the pacemaker is turned off or down to its lowest setting. Currently, the FAA allows certification only at third class for airmen who are considered to be "pacemaker dependent." The Federal Air Surgeon will be evaluating whether airmen who need first- or second-class medicals will be allowed to obtain a special issuance if they are pacemaker dependent.

text: Battling has played an integral role in hip-hop since the culture's inception in the South Bronx in the 1970s. While a battle simply began as a showdown to see which MC is the better lyricist, it quickly evolved into a cultural phenomenon. There are artists such as KRS-One and LL Cool J, who have defined their careers through battling. The essence of MCs battling, however, changed as the culture morphed into the corporate world. Soon, rappers were making diss songs more violent, often blurring the line between the streets and the industry. We even lost two young men - The Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur - because of a senseless rivalry between the East Coast and West Coast. Clearly, the history of the battle is filled with its high and low points. Regardless, battle raps are a hallmark of the hip-hop culture. With that in mind, UGO.com brings you the 11 Best Hip-Hop Diss Tracks. This list isn't based off popularity or SoundScan figures, but rather a variety of factors, including each song's impact, longevity, lyrics, and creativity.

Product Description
The 1916 $1.00 Gold Commemorative commemorating the 25th President of the United States William McKinley was designed both by Charles Barber(obverse) and George T. Morgan(reverse). The 1916 McKinley was originally distributed in paper envelopes with "The National McKinley Birthplace Memorail Association, Youngstown, Ohio" imprinted on them. Barber's obverse design was intially intended for the 1903 Louisiana Purchase gold commemorative, but was turned down at that time. The 1916 and 1917 $1.00 Gold McKinley Commemoratives were issued to offset the costs of erecting a proper memorial for the late President. With an original mintage of only 15,000 coins, many of them were returned to the Mint where they were then melted.

The Gauged Saws are a must have in a Luthier's workshop. I like the quality and versatility of these saws. They can be used to roughing in new nut slots and then smooth them with abrasive cords, the Double-edge nut files or the Gauged Nut Slotting files.
Setup is one of the most common service performed in a Luthiers workshop and you can imagine all the money that could be spent if the Gauged and Double edge's nut files were used to roughing in nut slots. You can even use these saws to cut nut and saddles to size and even braces and other small wood pieces. These files are economical and won't make a whole in your wallet if you have to replace one. I love them!
Great saws, super sharp ,.... well made . Cutting certain sized slots is easy. Many uses for them in the shop.
Great saws.
For the price, these can't be beat. I use mine for just about everything I can and I love it.
the .010 is all i need for starting any size slot.then do the fine tuning with the proper size nut file
well! this gauged saw help me a lot in nut making. Its not all about nuts! but its also good in cutting plastic boards for customizing.
Good solid feel. Great idea for cleanly and accurately starting nut slots. I will definitely purchase more of these

After looking at the prior top words and phrsaes, I think it's just someone making up a list. It's based on a "proprietary algorithm." So we have puzzling results like:2009 Name: Mobama2006 Name: Dafur2005 Top Phrase: Outside the Mainstream2002 2nd ranked phrase: Rush to War2002 top phrase: Threat FatigueSorry, maybe among blogs and Twitter feeds these would rate, but top in media or general usage? No way.
Oh thats so cool. I remember noibbes and wouldn't nick always buy whoopie cushions there and sell them at school for a little more? Next time I'm in Des Moines I definately would like to stop there.

White Paper | June 27, 2011
The True Value Of Video IntelligenceSource: Verint Systems
Today, organizations face greater physical security risks than perhaps ever before — from terrorism and violence to theft, vandalism, and fraud. While terrorism grabs much of the spotlight, other statistics are also striking. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), approximately two million US workers are victims of workplace violence each year.1 Meanwhile, retail shrinkage approached $46B in 2009, and Freightwatch International cited a 67 percent increase in cargo theft at a cost of nearly $500M.
An inability to contain these losses can produce complex and costly consequences. Insurance and medical costs continue to rise. The likelihood of litigation continues to grow. Investigations require even greater time and resources. Employee turnover as the result of perceived unsafe working conditions stresses budgets and diminishes productivity. All of this takes a toll on an organization's bottom line and even its brand value, especially given the negative attention that security incidents tend to attract. And as many organizations are tasked with reducing both budgets and staff, they must address physical security more efficiently and cost effectively.

Peter Crouch
- Squad No: 15
- Position: Forward
- Age: 33
- Birth Date: Jan 1, 1981
- Birth Place: Macclesfield
- Height: 6'7" (2.01m)
- Weight: 156 lbs (70.6 kg)
2013/14 English Premier League
A nomadic player, Crouch has played for 12 teams during his career, but came full-circle when he returned to his first club Tottenham in July 2009. An FA Cup winner with Liverpool, the tall striker failed to make a lasting impression at Anfield and first rose to prominence in Southampton's relegation season of 2005.
Crouch's second stint at Tottenham was a mixed bag. His overall league record for the club is 12 goals struck in 73 matches, one of those strikes proving valuable indeed as he netted against Manchester City to propel Tottenham into the Champions League. And his hat-trick versus Young Boys ensured Spurs competed in the group stage of Europe's premier competition. Alas, his European adventure turned sour in the knockout phase when he was sent off in the 14th minute against Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.
Then, on the domestic stage, Spurs again locked horns with City as the pair battled it out for Champions League qualification. This time, however, Crouch scored an own goal to help City on their way to a third-placed finish. That summer, speculation emerged over Crouch's future, with Sunderland said to be keen. But, ultimately, Stoke landed the forward on transfer deadline day for around £10 million.
For England, he got his first international call-up in 2005 and did enough to cement his place at the 2006 World Cup - scoring a hat-trick against Jamaica - but, despite impressing when given the chance, he has failed to nail down a starting spot. His unusual build gives his side a 'Plan B' though and he has the potential to cause problems to any defence. Indeed, his scoring record continues to impress.
Strengths: Height and aerial prowess, obviously, but he has deceptively decent feet and is more than the one-dimensional player many pundits make out.
Weaknesses: His scoring record is inconsistent, especially against the bigger teams, he lacks pace and he commits far too many fouls.
Career high: Picking up his first major trophy, the 2006 FA Cup with Liverpool.
Career low: Relegated by Southampton in 2005 after getting his first England call-up for his good form.
Style: Ungainly, imposing, skilful, an unusual blend of styles.
Quotes: "He may be unusual because of his incredible height, but the boy can also play. He has great feet for a big man, which is something you don't always expect from players as tall as him - not that there are many!" Former Chelsea defender Mario Melchiot, October 2005.
Trivia: Crouch made the ''robot dance'' famous after scoring against Hungary, but claimed he would only do it again if England were to win the World Cup, saying: "It's not about robotic dancing. It is about scoring goals and winning matches.''

Electronic payments terminal manufacturer VeriFone Systems announced today it has appointed Citi executive Paul Gallant as its new CEO.
Gallant's appointment will be effective Oct. 1. The 45-year-old Gallant had served as the CEO of Citigroup's Enterprise Payments business since 2010. In this role, Galant was responsible for developing digital payments services for Citi's institutional and government clients. Prior to that, he served as CEO of Citi Cards, heading Citigroup's North American and International Consumer Credit Cards, and also served as Citi's CEO of Transaction Services.
According to VeriFone, Gallant was hired due to his track record of innovation in global, multi-channel payments. The appointment comes at a time when VeriFone faces increasing competition from non-traditional digital and mobile payments providers, such as Square.
[ To learn more about new opportunities in mobility in financial services, register for Interop here and check out the "New Opportunities for Mobility: A Financial CIO/CTO Roundtable" session on October 3 in NYC.]
"His experience in guiding businesses through industry change and his track record in multi-channel payment innovation will position the company strategically for continued growth and long-term value creation," said VeriFone's Interim Non-Executive Chairman Dr. Leslie Denend in a written statement.
The company's former CEO, Douglas Bergeron, stepped down in March. Shortly before his resignation, Bergeron told analysts in a conference call that VeriFone hadn't spent enough time and money tailoring its products to suit the needs of local merchants, according to news reports.
In a statement, Gallant acknowledged that "there is still more work to be done" but that he was "impressed with the progress the company has made during the past year."

KENT, Ohio - Central Michigan won its first game under first year head coach Peter McGahey, opening up Mid-American Conference play with a 1-0 result at Kent State on Friday. The Chippewas snapped the Golden Flashes four-game undefeated streak at home.
"I think the most important today is that we showed tremendous character," said McGahey. "They dug, they fought and Kent State really battled at the end. I think the character, resiliency and the determination that our women showed today was outstanding."
• The Kent State offense made its presence known from the start as it tallied nine shots and three shots on goal in the first half. The Golden Flashes best first half opportunity came in the eighth minute when senior forward Jessacca Gironda received a quick pass off a corner and delivered a shot on net but senior goalkeeper Grace Labrecque made the stop.
• Labrecque led Central Michigan to the shutout, posting six saves while facing a flurry of 21 Kent State shots. The victory marks Labrecque's fifth shutout of her career. Labrecque appeared in her third consecutive start in net.
• Junior Morgan Wilcoxon capitalized on CMU's only shot on goal in the first half, executing a deep strike past the goalkeeper in the 37th minute, netting the lone goal of the game. The Chippewa score marked Wilcoxon's first goal of the season.
• Tory Kinniard earned her first assist of the season and second of her career on Wilcoxon's game winner.
• Senior forward Nicole Samuel and freshman and junior forward Eliza Van de Kerkhove also made offensive contributions by both recording shots on goal.
• Central Michigan continues its Ohio road trip on Sunday when the Chippewas face the Ohio Bobcats at 1 p.m. at Chessa Field.

BP's Deepwater Horizon - Static Top Kill vs. Bottom Kill: Weighing the Risks
A permanent solution to the BP Macondo blowout in the Gulf of Mexico may be achieved soon but there are risks. Admiral Thad Allen announced on Monday, July 26 that a static top kill would be attempted on August 2. The schedule may be accelerated to July 31 or August 1 according to an announcement today (July 29). The sealing cap has successfully stopped the flow of oil and gas from the well and the pressure continues to build slowly. Temperature at the wellhead has not increased, and seeps near the well are mostly nitrogen and biogenic methane unrelated to leakage. BP Senior Vice President Kent Wells' technical update on July 21 explained these findings and showed how the well will be killed.
There are risks involved in both the top and bottom kill procedures. The purpose of this post is to describe those risks. There are two risks associated with the static top kill. First, it may not work at all and second, it may rupture the casing by pumping heavy mud under pressure ("bull heading").
Kent Wells described the static top kill as a process of continuously pumping mud into the well until the oil is pushed into the reservoir. This is clearly erroneous and must be a simplification designed for the general public. What will more probably take place is a practice called "bleed and lubricate". Heavy mud is pumped into the well through the choke and kill lines on the blowout preventer (BOP) and allowed to sink to the bottom of the well. Hopefully, the mud will retard the flow so that some of the pressure can be bled off by producing oil to the surface for a short period. Then, more heavy mud will be pumped into the well, and the process repeated as necessary until the well contains enough mud to kill the well.
The first problem with stopping the flow from the top is that it has to be an annular kill: the flow was coming up the annulus outside the production casing. This is a very narrow space so mud will have to pumped at high pressure to achieve entry. It will initially be working against a full column of gas and oil and the shut-in pressure at the well head. On the positive side, if produced sand has accumulated in the annulus, the operation may not have to contend with the full force of the reservoir pressure in addition to these obstacles. On the negative side, the well head seals might prevent or restrict downward flow, or the pumping pressure could rupture the 22-inch casing, or reach a pressure high enough to call off the operation.
Figure 1a (based on a government document) shows that the upper part of the well bore is protected by three strings of casing (36-, 28-, and 22-inch) and cement down to 7,937 feet (measured depth below sea level). A fourth string of 16-inch casing extends nearly from the well head to where it is cemented at 11,585 feet, but it is apparently hung inside the 22-inch casing at 5,227 feet, leaving a gap of 160 feet. The 16-inch pipe has a burst rating approximately equal to the current shut-in pressure of 6,900 psi (80% of rating), but the 22-inch pipe does not meet this standard.
BP has said that the relief well DD3 plan will continue regardless of the success of the top kill operation. The main risk with a bottom kill is that it may take considerable time to accomplish. Because of the recent tropical storm, crews are just removing the storm packer today, and it will take time to re-enter and condition the hole before drilling resumes. BP estimates that the DD3 will intersect the Macondo well around August 10. Most efforts to intersect a blown-out wells require several attempts. The recent 2009 Montara blowout in the Timor Sea required four attempts that took a month after the relief well was near the blow out and cased. The bottom of the first Macondo relief well is currently located a few feet from the target at approximately 17,220 feet measured depth (based on Wells' update and shown in Figure 1b).
The good news is that, in this case, the relief well does not, apparently, need to intersect the well exactly--it just needs to be close. Once the relief well penetrates the reservoir, enough mud can be pumped to hopefully overcome flowing pressure and kill the well. The bottom-kill option has the same annular flow path liabilities as the top kill, but it has the capacity to deliver higher flow rates directly to the reservoir. This approach will not cause significant pressuring near the well head and should not, therefore, pose a risk of rupturing the 22-inch casing.
The bottom kill option involves considerably less mechanical risk than the top kill, but time is the enemy, so the top kill makes sense. Maintaining the objectivity to abandon the operation rather than risk casing rupture will be critical.

Thank you for this detailed discussion of static kill vs resolution via relief well. My professional ken is not in petroleum geology or even hydrodynamics, but it seems to me that any kill operation initiated from the top of an already pressurized column carries the risk of rupturing the casing. I guess my question - admittedly from a simplistic layman's perspective - is that a static kill FOLLOWED by a kill by DD3 from below would result in increased static pressure within the pipe between these two kill sites. While that concern alone may be invalid, if I were to assume that it was a true risk, then why would we even be considering static kill when in fact we have a relatively stable temporary cap allowing us to go for the less risky and more comprehensive kill from the relief well?
In any case, your last statement was concise, eloquent and very clearly addresses my concerns about static kill.

The static kill was begun this afternoon and the comments by Kent Wells indicate that it should proceed well. Let's hope so.

You can walk the halls of Antioch and feel the happiness in everything around you. People are genuine, non-judgmental, and more than willing to just sit and talk or even study with you even if it's not their major. You couldn't have a better learning experience anywhere else!
